Australia / Austrlian married to polish man wishes to reside in Poland [9]

Quote

Thank you for your reply - yes We would be coming to Poland together - we were there last year and I loved it. Poland is very progressive and we want to travel between the two countries (Polish winter in Australia)

It seems you are an intellectual person, and you will find it easy in Poland.

Welcome again.

Life / Poles and their listening skills [22]

No truth in this. I must write because this is a very grave stereotyping of my nation, and due to which I come into the picture.

We Poles have had some very great thinkers among us, for many political reasons we have not been publicized as much as the germans or russians, but Poland have its gems.

Sometimes we can analyze information quicker perhaps? ... thats why no need to say "I must think over it" ... Why must I waste time when I know the answer? No need to keep anyone guessing. However, if the question requires thought, then thought will surely come into play. I don't think there is any human nation who just doesn't "think" at all on some stuffs. However, not all the things which one person things of as a very critical matter can be thought the same by the person sitting across.

There are all kinds of people in Poland. We end up meeting or communicating those who have most in common with our way of life ... that is because they come across us in positions or places where we are found, and that happens due to some common ways. If one tries to change their minds and personalities, they would meet different people. There are worlds within this world, and everyone lives in their own world and meets its residents mostly. Others are almost aliens, who may at most come across, or might walk on the save pavement, but it doesn't mean that they are a part of your world.

Lets not stereotype ... and when "not all" comes, then it becomes "some people" ... not Poles in general. Can be a german or a russian or an irish or even someone from timbuktoo or china or india or korea!

Australia / Austrlian married to polish man wishes to reside in Poland [9]

Are you moving to Poland with him? ... Your information is a little vague.

Anyways, I would count the former...

Hence, I welcome you to come to Poland and feel at home. Ofcourse, be careful while buying properties, hire proper and reputed agents. He should help you in this matter.

Poland have a very good future, and it will improve alot economically. I think the day is near when we will be a very significant force in the map of Europe and perhaps someday the world too :).

USA, Canada / I'm seriously considering moving from the US to Poland because... (I'm young) [4]

Aren't there any American women?

Its one thing to find a Polish girl in life, and quite another to totally confine yourself to one. Seek a good girl, with whom you can spend a lifetime, or beyond if your believe in the beyond. It will benefit you more. These kinds of requirements don't last longer than a year after consummation ... it boils down to mental and spiritual bonding, which is beyond the tangible part of any relationship.

News / 2011 Netherlands discuss Polish deportation plan [118]

That's the essence of discrimination. You cannot punish a whole group for the folly of a few individuals.

Exactly ... and if this was resolved in this world there would not be pain.

This case is a living proof that people can be good and bad in any nation ... however, one cannot declare or label an entire nation, or a person they do not know, as a guilty - unless proven.

Love / Poland wow wife [52]

This is what happens when people comment against others without bothering to realize that they do not know that person.

People love to declare anyone "guilty" ... they feel a pleasure because for a moment they blind themselves of all the errors they have within their own selves.

Love / What are my chances of finding a decent Polish lady? [24]

Good luck, but I really think that getting married shouldn't be about the nationality, but about the person. A dating site is the last place to look into... join some kind of a class of institute, look around you and perhaps you will get to meet the right person.

If it must be a Polish, then come Poland, join some course, or start some course. Make sure you meet more people, something good can happen.

But here, where people don't really know you, it is not possible that you meet a great advice.

Love / Poland wow wife [52]

I'm being just about as much racist as he is, if you wanna put it that way.

You always take interest in these kinds of topics. Atleast 70% of the times, while I also do - but not in this frequency. I enjoy commenting on all race people, perhaps you do too ... but a little more intense and certainly in the opposite direction.

A person can love his/her native country and still prefer to live somewhere else. Do you have Poland? Then why do you prefer to live in UK? I have my friend from childhood who lives in the United States and have disastrous opinion about Americans (specially the women) etc, he is not a saint himself - a very wrong path he chose to earn money, however now he is in a better track.

He was (still is) an American passport expert. Gave his services to some immigrants, and often in heartbreaking ways (for me, it breaks my heart, for many its not even worth blinking).

I try to be fare ... I love my country and love to defend it spiritedly, but then, not unfairly.

These stuff, immigration/passport etc are applicable to some but not all. People are there who would still like to immigrate but not at the cost of their basic principles and values ... but others can do just anything, and that is regardless of race-religion or gender.

We have had some really lovable and old members of Polish forums who used to have a happy life and got curiosity about Poland due to nostalgia and a Polish partner ... and I know some very known names in here who got hurt badly due to "knowing whats on the other side of the veil".

However, the unfair and illiterate targetting of a certain society is wrong. It is always better to comment or think positively or negatively about people after knowing them well. Knowing their educational background, what they actually feel about their new country, and how much they value their principles ... before going ahead and declaring someone criminal.

Until the crime is proven, everyone are entitled to be seen as innocent.

It is a full lie that a careful (not paranoid) and sincere/patient look into anyone can reveal their true self. More importantly, if a person looks at another person free of all prejudices, color or creed or language or any other dividing issue ... in a very fare manner ... then it benefits knowing another person wholly on personality/character and reliability. Because then one is safe from saying outright "GUILTY" or "NOT GUILTY" to anyone, just because of what they see or what to believe about them.

Anyways, we all have our own right, our own choices ... and it is verily just a public forum.

I do understand if someone from Ireland felt later that Ireland was not their place, and came to another country - say Poland! Didn't return to their ethnic place, thinking that it is not a place for him ... even though perhaps he would wish those people well in life. Happens ... why to find a crime in it? Why have an eye filled with fire?

Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]

I am sorry for your wife and your family, but also pleased that she made it in time to see him through.

It must be of great delight to her father to see his daughter married and with a good child and husband, doing well in her life.

It is really wonderful of you to keep us informed. I love such stories. You are a good man from a far off country who have really been supportive to your wife! Respects.

If you ever hear any bad for any racist or any evil statement due to your foreign origins, please remember that a thousand voices are in favor of you against that one voice.

I have friends from USA, India, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Mexico, East Asian (Korea and Japan mainly) and also Belgium and Greece. They are all wonderful people, and with your account I believe that wonderful people often usually just don't go out screaming about their good lives. Only, they are at peace with themselves, and painful people scream and disorient other people. However, as a matter of coincidence, sometimes good souls post inquiries like yours through which we know a little about your good life and values.

Thank you again, and ofcourse, my condolences, he will surely be in Heaven...RIP

Love / Polish relationships (race and religion) [140]

Every other country does it, why don't we?

Are you crazy or something? Everyone in Poland does it, just some think differently, just like everyone else in the world. We are not confined to petty thoughts or those who have confined and put themselves down as petty primitives.

It is just a course of evolution, and as a citizen of a country which is free and honorable, every respectable and committed couple are to be cheered. The purpose is just to confirm that love and marriages are above everything else, and only true commitment and honest approach matters.

Be it American, Asian, Australian and any -ian or -an! ... true people have the right to be with each other, and they deserve praises, they deserve celebration.

is your wife having problem adjusting there ?

Initially everything was new to her. My mother and my eldest sister have been remarkably helpful to her, and she has found friends among my cousins. This is a very good thing once can get from families.

Right now she is much more comfortable. Her comfort was always my highest priority, however, she understands my obligations aswell. I am very fortunate, and wish this to continue by God's will.

Infact is there any other Asian (im not talking about India, Pakistani Asian) girls in this forum who have polish boyfriend?...

I believe you are East Asian? Are you? Or are you Polish interested in them?

Anyways, whoever you are, there are East Asians in Poland, but not too many from Korea. There are people who frequent Poland for business purposes from South Korea. My own father in law have business interests developing in Poland.

Poland is slowly but surely becoming a more popular destination. It is just not there yet, but it is about there.

I mainly had (and still do) friends from those two communities you mentioned, and also some Iranian and Kashmiri, also knew Egyptians. But among East Asians I have known Japanese and Koreans most closely, ofcourse among the latter I now have relatives :).

All pleasant people ... each of them who I call friend. It is your character and personality to which you remain content, which then shapes your attitude and behavior, which proceeds to shape your choices in such ways that you confront and befriend only those people who align to those standards. Then you have a different set of experiences, and learn how to view the world with a humane eye.

I really do regard every human heart to be a mine filled with rich gems ... only some need to be excavated, some often buried deep with sands and dusts of ignorance of various nature. But ofcourse, the revival is for each to work on individually. We all must look into ourselves.

Travel / Do I need an invitation to enter Poland as a tourist? [53]

Go contact your local polish embassy. All those posting here look like crap to me, without any basic educational background ... these are questions which do not need any intelligent and serious man to be looking into forums. There are enough more better and easier sources to gather them. Thats why I think students (genuine) are always the better ones to allow to come in your country, as they tend to be representing the better of their countrymen and women.

Life / Expats, are you happy with your life in Poland? [43]

You don't seem to like Ukrainians and Blacks.

Ukrainians I don't like? I have a distant family member who is Ukrainian through marriage to a distant cousin of mine. All I know is that she is a good lady.

Blacks? ... I don't know many. It is not because I hate them ... I just haven't socialized with any that much. Yes, met, but didn't really befriend ... was not in my circle.

I have had Greek friends (still have, and one of them is in relationship with a Polish girl) who were not like you in their mind ... so I guess I am not ready to generalize any people on a specimen.

'freedom'

And this is here ... but this is growing too.

Freedom to live, to choose, to enjoy and to be free! But adherence to human rights and law ... all come and shape my country well.

Poland, a new land brimming with opportunity ... with an ancient history brimming with pride!

Welcome to my country! You are now a Polish :) ... your children will be Polish too :) ... I believe you will contribute to the prosperity of Poland uniquely!

I have some friends from other nations who also became Polish and are now living wonderful lives with their new country and a very new way of living :) ...

People from west, east, south and north ... it don't matter now, now you are Polish :) ...

Feedback / Why are there so many on here, who do not like Poland [150]

LONG LIVE POLAND, AND HER GREAT PEOPLE. Who are not rude.

People who are rude are not Polish ... they belong to a band of people who are in every country and of every race ... but they have "racism" "hatred" "fault finding" "violence" "sadism" in common. Perhaps a Black hates a White (or vice versa) is in everyway the same thing ... in everyway they are brothers in soul ... just doing their jobs in different sides ... making the world a more difficult place to be happy in.

Those who hate Poland, or do no appreciate its beauty ... are among those "haters" which I mentioned above. They dwell in sadism ... their souls are different.

Life / Expats, are you happy with your life in Poland? [43]

The expats I have met from around the world, the West, the East, the South and the North ... all have mostly been cheerful with praises for Poland.

Poland is a country where the general masses welcome people with open arms of friendship! It is a land where if one works hard enough, and is intelligent enough, can find many interesting opportunities.

Poland is a country where there is a rich history, warm traditions and great intellectual talent which can give shape to a beautiful tomorrow... thus, inevitably, the expats who are sane and knowledgeable, find themselves in a position where they can do nothing but be proud on their good fortune to be in Poland!

Yes, it is true that we have our challenges, we have our problems, we have our trouble makers! But these are the elements which test our resolve, our intelligence, and our approach towards solutions! These are the fire which test gold, and Poland always came out as the PUREST GOLD!

Poland is a country with the most beautiful heard in Europe. Its heart is warm and big, it is accepting, but at the same time it learns from its ever advancing civilization :).

I welcome people of all color, creed, language, race, nation or religion ... those who want to own Poland as their country ... to contribute in its prosperity so that they along with their children can prosper with it!

I find business investors and students to be the most attractive group of expats in my country. They are bright, easily integrate, and have great potential for a better future merging which a great land - Poland!

Seems like Poland is treating you good. I hope you enjoy your time and have only good memories. You seem like a smart man with a good head on his shoulders.

Being a foreigner is not so tough in Poland, specially with a Polish partner and a good heart, along with a good brain.

Good luck :) ...

Study / Is Poland a good place to study for Black Africans? [90]

If you want to study its ok ... but if you want to just fool around, eventually you will not be in a good position.

So think about it... give it some thought.

Jobs are scarce ... and you need to afford more than you can spend. Being a student, you are going to be expected to study.

I don't want to discourage you ... but you definitely cannot expect it to be USA.

It makes him as old as he wants to imagine himself. Obsessed ppl ...

Infact aging depends on how you maintain yourself, stress levels, diet etc ... its nothing to be generalized like that. People just age ... you need to look beyond the body if you really want to appreciate someone in any whichever way ...

Love / Simon Mol - would he have been so "successful" in other countries than Poland? [121]

Ur an idiot Midas. All your answers were given, but still you dont see them as answers because you want something that you can agree on. Something that is according to what YOU want to hear ... but truth is not so sweet.

Polish and many Eastern European mother do a great job. If you have no faith in their job, then go ahead separate ways. No one wants you, and no one could give a damn to what you feel like for them.

Why are you so concerned, or rather obsessed?

People do not go to college to become nuns, and being decent and focused is not being nun, but being normal. College is a place to study and become interactive. However you wouldn't know ...
